I'm going to Vegas (gods help me) again. It's cheap and easy...so that's where bead conventions are frequently held. This time I'm going to learn how to use PMC and how to make a couple of different kinds of rings. Metal working and precious metals clay manipulation are two of the things I"ve been wanting to learn about so I'll go to the city I hate the most to do it. (I hate LV because it's a windblown waste of water in the desert ) They sent the materials lists for the classes...
It's not a lot, but it's seriously dense and full of stuff TSA will not like so I get to take a checked bag. Might make that a checked box because my usual duffle bags won't stand the weight. I hate to put all my tools in a checked bag at the mercy of a trip with 2 legs and 2 airlines, but it's a risk I guess I have to take. I think I'll mail it back. The tool box on the right weighs about 10 pounds right now.I hate my very white straight from Home Depot kitchen cupboards, so I've decided to paint up some canvases and stick them to the front of the doors. Usually I don't get all woo woo about what the Muse requests of me...but really, a house fly?
I got all excited about how lovely bugs are when I was doing the wings of the last BJP cuff, thinking I'd bead some beetles or something for the March cuff. Instead it came out as a cupboard painting of a fly. I don't pretend to understand...

Totally understand about the facebook thing. Had family coerce me into joining several months back. Then all these people from high school find you. Weirdly surreal.
Totally surreal. I don't want to regress back to popularity contests!
Kelly, that FLY IS AWESOME!!!!! It makes me really want Spring to finally get here. I heard the frogs singing over at Sharon Woods when I went to work last night...it is close.
Looks like you are going to learn bunches in Vegas. Gonna ride the big coaster again?
Thanks Dot, I'm glad you don't think the fly is totally weird!
I hope we ride the 'coaster again, that was so much fun!
okay....you can so come paint right on my kitchen cupboards!! that fly rocks! I wouldn't even try to swap him! maybe a flower beetle next...they are orange and purple...MaNature has a great sense of color! I think I might have a facebook page....but I've never done much with it, have enough trouble keeping up(or not blogging! your supply lists are longer than mine! as Scott says "metal work is not for whimps" this after he picked up my basket of tools and such when I was headed off to a class! and the rolly-coaster....I say hell yes! WHeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
Hi there. :) I just surfed on in. I wanted to let you know that your art is amazing! I went back through your blog and I think your cuffs and your fish are just the coolest. Thanks for posting such beautiful works!
I love that you all think a giant fly on a kitchen cupboard is a good thing! snort of laughter...
